5.0 out of 5 stars A significant and unmatched achievement..., 23 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Fluent Tibetan: A Proficiency-orientated Learning System: Novice and Intermediate Level (Audio Cassette)
The most systematic and extensive course system available in spoken Tibetan language, Fluent Tibetan was developed by language experts working in conjunction with indigenous speakers at the University of Virginia.

Based upon courses for diplomats needing to learn a language quickly, the method acquaints students with the sounds and patterns of Tibetan speech, through repetitive interactive drills, enabling the quick mastery of increasingly complex structures, and thereby promoting rapid progress in speaking the language.

Fluent Tibetan is the best course available anywhere for learning on your own. The package consists of textbooks and tape recordings, arranged in fifteen units. The first three units are devoted to recognition and pronunciation of the Tibetan alphabet and its combinations in syllables and words. With unit four, vocabulary and grammatical patterns are introduced in situational dialogues. Each dialogue is followed by extensive drills repeating the vocabulary and grammatical patterns in different contexts thereby teaching how to use the language creatively.

The exceptionally clear voices in the dialogues and drills are both male and female indigenous Tibetans. The glossary is both Tibetan-English and English-Tibetan.

Fluent Tibetan corresponds to a year of college-level language study.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's the Wrong CD, Gromit!, 10 April 2009
"A Customer"'s review above does not apply to this product, but to the full, four-volume set also called Fluent Tibetan. The product above, now sadly discontinued, is an excellent computer-based teaching aid that allows you to practice most of the dialogues in the larger set, but on your computer. It's particularly good for keeping your Tibetan pronunciation going, or building it up if you can only read and write Tibetan (a common problem). It was particularly useful when the full teaching pack's dialogues were on cassette tape; I imagine that this has now been superceded by the revised CD version of the larger teaching pack, but this more modest software bundle is nonetheless a very useful little item.
